Running Accomplishments:

Marathon PR - 3:05 (3:06 at Boston)

Completed a dozen marathons and a handful of 50 mile ultras.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Consistent aerobic and strength training.

Christie Clinic Half Marathon 4/27/24

Long-Term Running Goals:

Sub 1:35 in half marathon.  Then might consider taking a shot at full marathon again.

Personal:

I started more dedicated running and racing in my thirties.  Eventually I developed symptomatic bradycardia and SVT which required a cardiac pacemaker implant and a cardiac cath ablation.  It has taken a long time to get back to running consistently again.  Counting my blessings and trying to remain more balanced with fitness.

Mixed in some faster work during an easy 10 miles.  Weather is becoming much more favorable.  More job interviews this week.  It feels like my unemployment will be coming to end shortly.

All easy 15 miles.  Felt tired the last mile, but overall a well paced run.  Planning to jump back into higher mileage after my break last week.

Easy long run at a slightly faster pace than the usual easy.  Got tired the last 2 miles, but it was humid as all get out and I was sweating like a dog.

What a week.  I was hoping to bank more miles, but was watching the kids most days as my wife worked at her Discovery Toys booth at the Iowa State Fair and most of my free time was filled with finding employment.  The good news is I finally received a job offer on Thursday!!!  Decided to accept the position on Monday and then plan for the relocation.  Still a little stressed because I keep thinking something might happen to blow the whole deal.  As you can tell, I've become extremely paranoid during my unemployment.
